  • I can be logically inferred. Select the correct combination from the options provided. Passage: A clay tablet unearthed in a remote coastal village, dating back roughly 3,400 years, contains the oldest known recording of a musical notation system, according to a recent archaeological report. The markings, etched in Ugaritic cuneiform, represent the earliest structured method of capturing melody on a physical medium. These symbols are the ancestor of the modern musical staff used today across much of the Western world. The tablet records a hymn to a goddess, accompanied by instructions for a lyre player that read: "Strike the strings thrice when the high note rings." While previous excavations found isolated symbols on bone whistles, this tablet is the first to display a rhythmic sequence of notes, marking a pivotal moment in the history of human creative expression. Statements: I. No music was performed by humans before the creation of the Ugaritic cuneiform. II. The modern system for writing music has its origins in the Ugaritic cuneiform notation. III. Ancient musicians, like modern ones, used specific instructions to ensure accurate performance.
